ST: Disco 1.8

A good episode, though I didn't think quite as good as its predecessor,



I loved the planet as a concept. I liked what we got of Saru. Martin-Green continues to be brilliant as Michael.

I am assuming that Admiral Cornwell is not actually dead, but I WILL NOT BE OK WITH IT IF SHE IS.

ADMIRAL CORNWELL IS NOT DEAD. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT.

I think it would be quite hard to be as good as the previous, though I did rather like Lorca's "Can I trouble you to fire at something?"

It's a good line, although I think Lizbee is right to describe him as "an Ask A Manager Letter in a Starfleet uniform."

I am now trying to imagine those letters.

I doubt the admiral is dead too, and I also loved that line. Generally quite a well-made episode on a traditional theme with a new twist.

I have had a go....

Yes, it's arguable that beings of pure energy who don't register on the tricorder are over-used in Trek, but I thought the planet was extremely well-realised.

raises both eyebrows

The harmony enforced by biology/technology is another theme too, and here sensitively handled.
